Equality at a Higher Freqency

Design a Pro-Woman Economic Agenda

Eric Cantor and House Republicans are intent on rolling back women's economic rights, and we have to push back. Pro-woman champions in Congress want to know: what does a pro-family, pro-woman economic agenda look like?

So can you tell us: What policies are imperative to increasing the economic security of women and our families? And what is your experience with them?

Rank the following issues and benefits from what you think is least important to most important.

Paid Sick Leave

Paid family medical leave

Access to child care

Equal pay for equal work

Flex time and flexible work schedules

Raising the minimum wage

Why do you think these issues are or are not important for Congress to address?

Which of the following are true for you, personally?

I have paid sick days that I can use when I'm ill or care for a family member
I have paid family and medical leave benefits (such as maternity leave, paternity leave, or leave for extended illness)
I have access to high-quality child care that I can afford
I believe that my employer pays men and women equally for the same position
I believe that my employer pays fair, livable wages

Have any of the issues above--paid sick leave, access to child care, equal pay, etc--ever affected you at work? If so, we want to hear your story. Tell it here:
